You say the size has gone down, but pre4 was also 680132608 > bytes. Er, you're right --- I must have been looking at 3.0-pre3. Doh! Oh well, I'll give it another try shall I, or does Jim Westveer's recent mail indicating that the problem he was having was caused by a drive not likeing 80 minute CDs mean that we didn't have an over-size problem in the first place.

Well, in an effort to get a bit less load on it, I'm offering push-triggered mirroring of the directory: ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/ Hmm.. Regarding that, when is the best time for me to run that rsync script? If I have others that mirror from me, it is probably good if I manage to avoid mirroring just when the archive is being updated. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However I haven't been able to make a dvd image from http://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/woody-dvd/jigdo/. I come up short about 200+ files and each time it goes out to one of the sources it finds maybe 10 of 200 files, repeats this on & on but never gets to a finished image stage. What is your method of success? I am building the image from a local Woody mirror I setup with 'apt-move mirror' so getting to the almost finished image stage doesn't require more bandwidth.

What is your method of success? Simple - I've got a local full mirror, and I build the images myself.

netinst on powerpc
Hi, I want to install woody on a 'G4 Server 500' which has an Adaptec 2950's card. I have tried to boot with netinst (20020215) woody for PPC and also with the CD 1 of woody (kernel 2.4.16, January). With Netinst, the kernel 2.4 seems to miss in the iso. I can only boot with the 2.2, but I cant do anything with such an old kernel. With the CD 1 of woody, I am able to load the kerbel 2.4 (2.4.16, January), but the installer does not find the scsi hard drive at all. I guess 2.4.16 is too old as well. I have tried to put the missing kernel in the netinst but was not able to boot with the new burned CD. I have been able to install Mandrake 7.2 on that mac, but I dont want to use this system at all. My questions are: Is there a recent woody cd1 or netinst I could download for powerpc ? (ie, with kernel 2.4.18) Otherwise, how could I generate the iso, since I dont have the mirror of debian at home ? Finally, how can I update netinst properly to make it use the current bf2.4 ?

loading modules from floppy ?
Hi there, I just wanted to point out that I had slight problems doing a fresh install of woody, pre2 CDs. System has a Tekram 390U SCSI controller, which was not handled by the standard kernel flavour. So I thought I could load the appropriate module, but it asked for floppies. Shouldn't this be done from CD as well? The bf2.4 flavour worked fine afterwards. I have to admit that I skipped documentation (being with Debian since "bo") but that means loading a module is not too intuitive. Box works fine now.
